“Zscaler has unique view of corporate users traversing the Web through its global network of Web proxies,” said Michael Sutton, vice president of Security Research. “As the SaaS vendor with the largest footprint of data-centers and users from over 140 countries, Zscaler has been able to identify certain trends and facts that are important for organizations to consider for security planning. This report shows how corporate users are using Web resources and how hackers are targeting them for attacking the enterprise from the inside.”
